Chapter 376: Light
Yang Sisun's eyes were about to fall, and Tan Tai also opened his mouth wide on the side...... Shu Mu is the standard Jurchen supremacy, arrogant even his own people sometimes can't look at it, the Han people are all clothes in his eyes, and nothing else is counted, the Han people can only do these things except for slavery, telling them to do farm work, ploughing the land, raising cattle and sheep, and the clothes can only do these things, what else can they do?
"How good is the fight?" Tan Tai's praise Yang Sisun can only listen to it, they are acquaintances with each other, they are not friends, one or two sentences are only regarded as compliments, Shu Mu is the one who speaks, and Yang Sisun takes it seriously.
"A good fight is a good fight." The vivid expression on Shu Mu's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he still said with a gloomy face: "But if three hundred people defeat five thousand Mongols, we can do it with three hundred white armors." ”
"Hmph."
Yang Sisun snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to Shumu.
Zai Sai watched with interest as these two groups of people dealt with, and now he realized that it turned out that these Han caravans had already been to Liaodong and had a deep relationship with the Jurchens.
People's eyes were gradually attracted by the group of military doctors, several official military doctors are surgical saints, and all of them have participated in several large-scale battles with Yusheng before, and they have rich experience in battlefield ambulance.
Someone had a lower leg sawed, and after using anesthetic, the small saw quickly sawed off the small half of the leg, and then debrided, stopped bleeding, and sutured.
Zai Sai, Tan Tai and the others all opened their mouths wide, they had never seen anything like this.
Zaisai couldn't help but say, "Can you save people like this?" ”
Yang Sisun was a little polite to this Mongolian Taiji, he nodded, looked at the wounded soldier in the coma, and said: "It's not a big problem, he just can't save his calf, and he was trampled by a horse and suffered a comminuted fracture, let's not saw off his leg, this leg won't be better." If it is sawn off, as long as there is no heavy bleeding at the bottom, and there will be a fever for a few days at most, it will definitely survive. ”
"You're taking your life from God." Tan Tai was amazed, his eyes full of surprise.
Zai Sai and the others look the same, these Ming people in front of them, whether it is combat effectiveness or battlefield treatment ability, both are beyond their imagination, if it shows that the Chinese people fight well or because of the strong armor, well-equipped, and brave and daring to fight, these are all within the scope of Zai Sai's understanding, even if you can't learn it, you know what's going on, but the bronze cannons in front of these military doctors are far beyond the scope of Zai Sai's imagination, so he doesn't know how to learn.
"These healers," Zaisai rolled his eyes and said, "It's really amazing, I don't know if your firm has more doctors, we can also hire some." ”
"I can't do this," Yang Sisun said, "but I can report it to my family on my behalf." ”
"Okay, okay." Zai Sai said with a smile: "How much money do these seven or eight military doctors spend a month?" ”
"Two hundred or two is enough." Yang Sisun said indifferently: "Three thousand taels of silver a year is enough." ”
Zai Sai didn't say anything, he didn't expect it to be this number, even if he was expensive for a Taiji, he wouldn't have a few thousand taels of silver a year...... All the northern captives are poor to death, especially the left wing is even poorer, if you don't rob the Ming Kingdom, there will be no wealth, and what you rob will be slowly consumed.
It costs a few thousand taels to raise a few military doctors, and Zai Sai doesn't know if that Zhang Han is crazy, or if he is crazy, or if the world is crazy.
"I also have to prepare the utensils they use, a special military hospital, plus medicinal materials and other things, well, five thousand taels is about the same."
Jaisai didn't intend to continue the conversation, he set his sights on the bronze cannons behind the formation.
Tan Tai and Shu Mu's eyes were also staring at the back formation, the group of artillerymen had already put on their clothes, in front of outsiders, military posture and military discipline were very important, Zhu Wanling himself was also dressed, and when he saw this group of Tartars staring at him, he also stared back, while staring back, he shouted: "Fuck up, don't let the Tartars be underestimated." ”
Tan Tai faintly heard the shout, and said with a smile: "This cannon is really fierce, but it can't be such a good cannon if it's not fierce." ”
Zai Sai also praised: "We are sweeping the formation, and I have seen with my own eyes that the artillery on your side is firing fast and urgently, and it is very accurate, and most of the casualties here are brought by artillery, I really admire it in my heart." ”
Zai Sai learned to be obedient this time, and did not directly ask the price of the artillery, one is that he thinks it is very expensive, and the other is that Zai Sai thinks that the artillery is a heavy weapon, and I am afraid that people will not sell it.
"If the artillery is calculated in the early stage of research and development costs, it will be about 5,000 taels." Yang Sisun said: "The price is very expensive. ”
It's not just expensive...... Both the Jurchens and the Mongols gasped.
The four cannons are 20,000 taels, not counting the various expenses including the gunners, and the bird guns in the hands of these bird guns in front of them are also obviously well-made, the price of the bird guns Zai Sai and Tan Tai probably know a little, knowing that the price is about a dozen taels of silver, these bird guns alone are worth more than a thousand taels, plus the iron armor chain mail leather armor that everyone has, all kinds of weapons and utensils, the close-fitting military robes are also carefully sewn, as well as military boots and other things, Zai Sai and Tan Tai suddenly glanced at each other, and both of them felt that they had some answers.
There is no doubt that the army of the Ming Kingdom in front of him is piled up with silver!
Shu Mu frowned at this time and said, "There is a cavalry approaching. ”
Everyone was staring, Tan Tai nodded, and said, "There are indeed cavalry coming." ”
One of Zaisai's own soldiers lay on the ground, listened for a while, and then got up and said, "Two hundred to three hundred horsemen." ”
Everyone spoke in Mongolian, and with the exception of Yang Sisun, who had no barriers to Mongolian communication, most of the merchant officers and soldiers present knew Mongolian or Jurchen language.
In the 3,000-mile journey from Shanxi to Liaodong, it would be too difficult not to learn some Mongolian or Jurchen dialect.
The Mongols and Jurchens all turned over and got on their horses, Yang Sisun made a hand gesture, the military flag was unfurled, and more than 300 soldiers who were resting all stood up and re-lined up.
Tan Tai and Shu Mu's faces both showed solemn expressions...... These soldiers in front of him are really rare elites, and they are also real tigers and wolves.
Hearing that there might be an enemy attack, no one was flustered and nervous, their faces were calm, although they had just experienced a hard battle, no one complained, and they were not overly excited, and their faces were still the same, there was no change, but they were all following instructions without hesitation...... Such a soldier is a really good soldier, obedient, has combat skills and techniques, and is emotionally stable...... A veteran who has not fought many times on the battlefield and has experienced many times of life and death cannot do this.
Tan Tai is just a little strange, He Yusheng is just a trading house, Zhang Han is just a businessman, although he has to protect himself on the grassland and face some small-scale wars, how did Zhang Han train these elite soldiers?
The sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded, and a group of cavalry appeared on the distant horizon, and the shrubs and grass in the distance began to rise from the distance to be higher than the cavalry, and then the cavalry gradually revealed their figures, and when they saw the opposite scene, Zai Sai and the others were colorless, Tan Tai and Shu Mu also became extremely nervous, and their subordinates also rushed over, these people didn't care about talking, and hurriedly rode their horses back to their own formation.
The cavalry in the distance is like walking down from the clouds!
The light distorted, and the earth seemed to tremble.
A large amount of light, dazzling light, dazzling, the entire horizon was filled with light, and it seemed that between heaven and earth, only this group of cavalry and the light of the sun reflected each other.
What a spectacle!
Many people were stunned, Yang Sisun and the others were also very nervous at first, and then all the officers on Yusheng's side had smiles on their faces.
Of course, Yang Sisun and the others did not order to stop the vigilance, and everything had to be cautious before it was confirmed.
The Mongols were all shouting, and although the people led by Zaisai were elite, under the pressure of the cavalry from afar, many people began to scream.
This steppe was originally the territory of the Mongols, and now they are confused, whose place is this?
"It's our cavalry!"
Zhu Wanling stood on the hillock, and under his feet was a small horse, which was his favorite thing to sit and rest when he led the artillery team to train, and at this time he stood tall and built a pergola with his hands, and finally he decided it first.
"Our cavalry is coming!" Zhang Chunniu and others took the lead in cheering.
Li Shouxin didn't say anything, but his always calm and simple face was full of joy.
Li Xuan's expression was a little surprised, he didn't expect that it was the cavalry that came first, and Yusheng's cavalry so far has no unified record, they are all scattered in training, but Li Xuan also knows that the new tactics of the cavalry have been trained to the last moment, and now it seems that the training is almost over, and some of them have been transferred over?
Li Xuan's doubts did not last long, no matter what, the cavalry that came must have come from Li Zhuang, there was no doubt about it.
That is to say, Li Zhuang's side can create so many identical cuirasses, and all of them have been polished, and then they can be worn uniformly on the cavalrymen's bodies, and then they can cause the current effect!
Two hundred riders, so that the Mongols and Jurchens here were scared half to death!
People watched the cavalry gallop closer and closer, and they also saw the infantry formation of the camp from a distance, and the cavalry did not come directly, but made a big detour, directly to the right flank of Tan Tai and Zai Sai and others.
As long as Yang Sisun and the others make a code, the cavalry over there can charge directly!
Charge, fire, detour, reload, charge again!
"It's our cuirassiers!" Li Xuan roared out loudly with the greatest enthusiasm.
……
Leading the dragoons was Zhu Dayong, who this time brought two rounds of cuirassiers.
This is a cuirassier trained with a complete European-style cavalry practice, including dismounting and using firearms, cavalry charging with a sharp sword or straight knife in a dense formation, etc., the cavalry of Europe has sunk for a while in the age of firearms, the traditional stuffy jar knight was beaten by the musket and abandoned the armor, completely withdrew from the historical stage, and the later cavalry revival was Frederick the Great of Prussia, this person's biography Zhang Han read, admitting that this European monarch is an out-and-out military genius, This Prussian king not only influenced the military reform of Europe at that time, but also influenced many subsequent military strategists and military theorists, including the modern military logistics system, staff system, training, precision weapons and other aspects of the improvement, this Frederick the Great has made great contributions, and even the subsequent genius Napoleon also learned a lot from him.
